Out on The Porch: There’s Something New at Saratoga National Golf Club

The excitement for summer in Saratoga is gearing up at The Porch at Saratoga National, the outdoor seasonal restaurant opening for a universal lunch and dinner menu at the Saratoga National Golf Club

Mazzone Hospitality is operating at the casual restaurant overlooking the course’s 18th green from May to October this year. 

Guests are invited to enjoy lunch, dinner or just cocktails at the al fresco bar while taking in the surrounding scenery in a relaxed atmosphere that accommodates 125 with simple wrought iron table and bistro-style seating. Walk-ins are welcome (reservations required for parties of eight or more).

Outdoor Eating

The Porch is debuting a variety of shareable seafood steam pots and tiered platters to share or just to enjoy yourself!

Prepared by Chef Brandon Johnson (formally of 15 Church St. and others) the growing menu also includes classic mains; such as the wagyu smashed burger, fried chicken sandwich and lobster club; as well as creative appetizers and salads made from fresh herbs and produce picked on-site from the micro-farm garden beds prepared by Tracey Kwiecien, a former chef and the founder of the Green Bed Project

Dining in the New Age

Adjacent to the Prime fine dining experience, this new venture is just the latest in a series of changes that Mazzone Hospitality has implemented since the pandemic began reshaping the world. 

“The pandemic devastated everybody in the restaurant business, but we’re stronger than most. When we were down, we didn’t stop,” said founder Angelo Mazzone. 

In addition to opening The Porch, the 50’ x 80’ tent on the Saratoga National grounds has been replaced by a 60’ x 82’ one that adds another two feet to the ceiling height (raising it to a noble 10 feet). The blue stone floor inside was also replaced with raised sub floor with wood-like vinyl flooring that is more durable. 

Doing it Together

Like the new age of hospitality that we’re entering into, Mazzone has simplified and unified the way they do business. 

They have polished their Mazzone classics catering menu and reexamined their PRIME dining services to ensure they are on par with the brand’s exacting reputation. 

“We’ve made a commitment to aligning services into creating one team with one unifying vision,” said Sean Willcoxon, Mazzone’s Vice President of Catering. 

Symbolized by a refreshed website, and a simplified blue and white logo designed locally by Cox Marketing Solutions. Mazzone Hospitality is looking forward to an exciting summer season.
